Will replays of these games be available?
I believe you can watch the Vods on twitch but they have been uploading them to YouTube.
Dig are tired, you can see their co-ordination has dropped significantly. It was what I expected really, it feels unfair to make teams have to play on the same day like this.
Shame that after an amazing series the final game is a bit of a shit show tbh.

pretty sure Fnatic has been pulling this out a couple times already and usually handily beat dig with it.
The way the brackets fell is insane Fnatic had to go up against Korea exactly once and got 0-2d by MVP.
Dig fought MVP once and L5 3 times for an overall 9-3 record.

Now I wish L5 had gone the whole way.
Why? You'd rather Korea continue to dominate than a Western team, EU no less, finally get a well deserved victory over their biggest rival after a series of close calls?
No doubt Fnatic had an easier road, but that's how it goes sometimes in both sports and in esports. They deserved a trophy after all of the heartbreak as much if not more than Dig has. At least Dig has consistently been able to win something. Fnatic has only consistently beat their head against Dig's door...and this time they finally got the monkey off their back.

I just don't like Fnatic, hasn't that been apparent?
I don't like Dig because they are European either. Locales mean nothing.

That's a funny way to say Sweden, but hey when Koreans lose in an esport, we all win.

I don't even know. Never liked them much but if I had to give a reason probably because they went to Blizzcon over mYi, misfits at the time.

Since western clash ye but they went into that undefeated.
Fnatic beat Dignitas 3 times to get here, it's not a new level just a recognition of where they at.
They do deserve it and they probably would have won against MVP and L5 but their whole task going into this tournament and before was to beat Dignitas. Which they are good at.
Yep - basically they swapped positions. Whereas it used to be rare but doable for a Euro team to beat a Korean team, now it's the other way around. I mean. Fanatic clearly threw their games versus MVP and dignitas has a 9-3 record against the Koreans right now. EU teams had the best meta, the best map control and the best team fighting.
Hopefully roll 20 will continue to improve, they at least seem hungry for it. Tempostorm just seem happy to be a big fish in a small pond and stick to winning NA.
People don't want to win, they refuse to do anything that could make us win. I tried to get the team to attack the core at 50% when we were 5v2, and again when it was at 20%, but no, they didn't come. So there it is, a 45 minutes game ended with our Hammer shooting at a 50 skulls golem attacking our 90% core, instead of the Murky that was neverending murlocs'ing our core. Good stuff.
Anub just can't be tuned as a main tank. Every time they make him survivable enough to do it, he breaks the game.
And Uther! All three of them seem to be distorting the meta quite a bit.
Fnatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite team finally won it, so pumped! Give me that sweet sweet mount Blizz! A seriously amazing tournament all around, HGC is just getting better and better and is really helping NA/EU improve with the set schedules. Can't wait for Blizzcon (especially since I'll be there!!!)

120+ kills... 45 mins... Murky has least deaths on the team... aghhhh my eyes!

How does one go about dying 24 times?

Well 0.25 per death, so Murky really died 32 times. In a 45 minute match, that's like dying once every other minute. You can hardly ask someone to die more often than that!
Probably Butcher and Valeera. People can't see stealth.
But I don't know, I still can't believe a team doesn't want to go as a group to a 20% core with 3 enemies dead.
With no respawn timers and a team always dead it's pretty easy to get killed, but it's still Murky so who cares as long as I get slime stacks.
My condolences, that looks like a terrible match experience. 45 minutes...how the actual fuck?
With his death timer Murky sure can die more often than that (I know cause I've seen Murky players die more often in shorter matches). And looking at his stats he sure seems to have gotten more value than the other Murky who only died 3 (or 12) times which is not particularly surprising considering the enemy Murky passed up making inky for the march upgrade.
That shit just happens a lot in qm. People don't know how easy they can end later in the game. Usually I'm the one who makes the call and at that point you can only hope that your team follows so that you don't have to back up again. It's why I always try to grab the DK or the plant when I know my team has a chance to end because otherwise there's a high chance it gets wasted attacking the keeps that are still standing instead of just hitting the damn core.
The enemy team has 4 dead members with 40-50 seconds timers? Gotta get down and collect skulls. That's how. Camps, skulls, defend the golem, camps, skulls, defend the golem, etc.
They should buff the golems, they're so bad.
I don't see anything..
Jebaited
No surprise coming from someone with a Chromie pic

Need to add more non healing supports or supports where healing is less important but can work with other strategies.
It was great seeing Brightwing solo support win fanatic the last map given that her heals aren't that great against burst comps , just because of her other utility.
